INSURANCE FRAUDS,

Which the L ,hsry HiIl is Designed
TO Check--TAe state Defrauded 10
the Extent Of $4,000 Annually.
Attention of insurance men and policy
holders is called to the law known as the
Emery bill, which became law March S,
as a matter of considerable Importance to
insurers in this state. 1t provides against
unauthorized companies doing business
here. individuals and firms having for any
reason placed their insurance i'll unauthor-
lied companies should consult with the in
surance commissioner as TO the value OF
their policies.
Insurance Commissioner Shandrew was
asked Yesterday about the business this
law was intended to prohibit, and he said
that the state was annually defrauded of
about SO, 900 in taxes on account or the
hu SneSS done by unauthorized companies.
These companies are all oregn to the
state many of them being in Chicago, and
they do business here entirely by correspond
ence, having no agents here, or else 1t
would be an easy matter to hold the agent
responsible. Minnesota laws, Mr. Sham
drew says, require insurance companies TO
have larger pad-up capital than is neces-
Sary in many other states, and some OF
these companies have not the requisite
amount OF capital to be legally entitled to
do business here. Not having agents,
there has been no way in which pay
ment Of policies could be enforced. as
suits could not be brought against them.
The new law is intended to reach them
through the courts. Because they are out
side the state suit could not be brought i'll
the state courts, and on account of the UNI
feasibility of obtaining service, suits could
not be brought IN the United States courts.
The new law allows suits to be brought in
the name of the state in the state courts
where the cOmnanY is located.

New York, March 1S.-The palatial
drawing rooms of Mrs. Hicks-Lord. of
Washington place and Washington square,
were the scene of a burglars reunion on
Monday evening last. That the value of
property the unbidden guests carried away

years ago and added to its large value

yer box lined with gold and containing q
silver spice glass was chosen. and also a
solid gold box containing a bird that
appeared on touching spring and sang

IN Germany at cost Of $500. A lot of

CHICAGO, March 1S.-A double tragedy
was enacted in the basement of house at
No. III Franklin street occupied as a
laundry, this afternoon. Michael Hofnusky,
a Hungarian, 80 years of age who is en-
pl0yed there, drew a revolver and going up
to his wife fired at her head; the ball enter
ing below the lett ear. The woman fell to
the floor with groan and the man DELHI
erately turned the muzzle of the pistol upon
himself and put a bullet through his head
under his right eye. His wound is pro-
nounced fatal and it is considered hardly
probable that his wife will recover. The
couple had one child, girl 2 years old.
The only cause which can be assigned for
the tragedy. is, dependency, induced by
three months. seige of sickness which
was spent by the murderer and suicide in
the county hospital.

The Blue Grolto of Capri.

Iuil Mail GaZette.
The famous Blue Grotto of Capri has
given rise to one of the most curious law
suits which Nave ever been heard. The
Vita Napolitana. writing on the subject,
says that some years ago an American be-
came possessor OF that part of Capri under
winch the Blue Grotto is situated, and the
owner asserts now that as the surface of
the ground belongs to him he is
also the owner of everything below it,
which in this case happens to be the
grotto, which, however, is at present the
possession OF the little town of Capri. the
administration of which has not the slight
est inclination of giving up what is its own
to the Yankee. The latter. on being III
formed OF this, has begun a lawsuit the
consequences OF which. whether he wins or
looses the case. may be very serious. In
the former case he can permanently njure
the grotto by making a hole through its
ceiling. by which the marvellous reflec-
tions in the interior will be lost forever. If
he wins it, the chances are that he will
close it to the public

from the audiences that have crowded the

what absurd, yet deligtfully charming ex-
travaganza, lover the Garden WALL" was
the attraction at the Grand last night. The
performance is familiar one here, but it is
a chestnut that has been frightened up with
many new Specialties and songs. Mr.. and
Mrs. Knight are as successful as ever in
wreathing the cOuntenanceS OF their audit

their excellent company get UP first class
carnival of merriment for an evenings en-

Frank David, whose opera specialties Gre
ated so much amusement last evening, is a
fac-simile OF United States Senator John E.
Kenna, and just about as much of wag.
